My graduate, my son

Congratulations Emmanuel!

My son graduates from High School tonight. If you’ve read
this blog you know the ride has been anything but smooth. We’ve had our ups and
downs with him and worried many nights, which way he would go. He turns 18 in
just a few days as well. When I look back I had him at 18 years old! When I
turned 18 I was focusing on getting things ready for a baby and I was facing
the reality that I needed to grow up quickly! He on the other hand is looking
at his life without the urgency to grow up. I’m thankful for that, I’m glad his
experience is exactly what it should be. He has the freedom to ponder his
options and enjoy this new chapter in life. I’m looking forward to it as well.
I’m preparing for this evening with balloons, banners, and food. On the inside
though, I’m taking in the moment and sighing with relief that we are here
today. That he is going to have his name called, walk down and receive his
diploma. It is a family accomplishment as well; keeping him focused when he did
want to flake out was no easy feat. We arrive here in this time with him
because we journeyed and labored with him.
I thank God for giving us the strength and endurance to get to this
place.

those daring enough to follow the madness :)

Hola

Hey thanks for visiting my blog, hope you find humor and perhaps perspective for all of lifes idiosyncrasies! By the way if you would like to use any material found here just shoot me an e-mail. Thanks, emily

Let's peel off the layer and what do we find?

Welcome to my life. It is filled with a crazy family,wonderful friends,and a side order of humor. I'm a first generation american with family from Nicaragua. I've got ties to the past and hopes to the future. You should know that I'm in denial about my age starting with a 3( I will probably resolve that issue when my age starts with a 4) oh and one last thing,my funnier stuff is usually found in the parenthesis!
